Stuffed capsicums

Directions

Slice a medley of coloured capsicums in half lengthwise, removing seeds and core. Place face down on to a sheet of baking paper and cook in a 220C oven for 5-7 minutes to just soften. Remove and cool.

Stuff peppers with spoonsful of dirty rice mixture (see recipe), cover with thin slices of tomato and top with panko crumbs and grated colby cheese. Bake in the hot oven until tops are golden and crispy. Serve as a side dish or as a meal with a big fresh salad.
